Background: For researchers, it is crucial to understand how theory is used when undertaking research because this gives an explanation of the flow of the research and facilitates the translation of the research outcomes into practice. Purpose: The foundation of our article is based on the explanation of how to utilise theory inductively or deducti

In this study, Li+ ions capped zinc oxide quantum dots (ZnO QDs) was synthesised using the microwave method. The X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high-transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), UV–Visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV-DRS), and photoluminescence (PL) techn

Solar energy, a cornerstone of renewable energy, for optimal grid integration and management, requires precise forecasting. Photovoltaic (PV) forecasting must be accurate to ensure energy stability and maximize resource utilization. This study compares Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) and Convolutional Neural Network-Long Short-Term Memory (CNN-LSTM) m

A recent humanitarian initiative called “Kembara Santun Ummah 2.0” took place in Kudat and Pulau Banggi, Sabah from 30 April to 7 May, 2023. This was a collaboration between UMission for Peace Malaysia, Persatuan Alumni SMSAH, ADAB Sabah and GENERASI Kudat. Nine students represented UMission Club, IIUM, together with their Advisor, Assoc. Prof.

The industrial revolution has fuelled excessive production and consumption of products to the extent that is decimating the environment. To mitigate this issue the newly discovered procedure of The Circular Economy’ is entrenched. This concept encourages new and innovative systems of production, consumption and disposal with less to no adverse ef

Introduction: This study aimed to evaluate the short-term efficacy of two comparable formulation of dual-polymer artificial tears: Systane Hydration preservative (SH) and non-preservative (SHUD) in 60 minutes observation period compared to normal saline. Methods: Fifty participants involved in this prospective, double-masked randomised study. Visco

Introduction: Conjoined twins (CT) are a rare embryological developmental accident of uncertain aetiology. Despite the prevalence being uncommon, this phenomenon carries a high rate of stillbirth and early neonatal death. Early detection is crucial to avoid unnecessary surgical delivery and sychological anguish to the expecting parents. Case presen

The black soldier fly (BSF), Hermetia illucens Linnaeus, is a worthwhile insect genus whose larvae have shown promise for sustainable animal feed because of their economical and premium protein. Concerns arise among Muslims about whether the usage of black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) as animal feed is permissible by Shariah because hasyarat (insect)

Gulf countries are known for their high levels of consumption with the United Arab Emirates (UAE) topping the list. The per capita consumption rate of the UAE is reported to be over USD 21675 per person in 2021. This alarmingly high rate of consumption comes with the cost in the form of environmental decimation. Usually, marketing is considered the

Titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles have been extensively used in various industrial sectors and applications, including cosmetics, catalysts, food additives, inks, paints, and coatings. However, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified TiO2 nanoparticles as a potential carcinogen for humans, meaning they may cause ca
